Deuteronomy 21
1 If one be found slain in the land which the LORD your God gives you to possess it, lying in the field, and it isn't known who has struck him;
Bw’olimala okuyingira mu nsi Mukama Katonda gy’akuwa okugirya, omuntu n’asangibwa mu nsiko ng’attiddwa, kyokka ng’eyamusse tamanyiddwa,
2 then your elders and your judges shall come forth, and they shall measure to the cities which are around him who is slain:
bakadde bo, abakulembeze, n’abalamuzi bo banaafulumanga ne bagenda bapima obuwanvu bw’ebbanga okuva ku mulambo okutuuka ku bibuga ebinaabanga bigwebulunguludde.
3 and it shall be, that the city which is nearest to the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which hasn't been worked with, and which has not drawn in the yoke;
Kale nno abakadde abakulembeze b’ekibuga ekinaabanga kisinga okuliraana n’omulambo ogwo, banaaddiranga ente enduusi etakozesebwangako mulimu gwonna, etassibwangamu kikoligo,
4 and the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer to a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer's neck there in the valley.
ne bagiserengesa mu kiwonvu ekirimu akagga akakulukuta; ekitalimwangamu wadde okusimbwamu emmere. Mu kiwonvu omwo mwe banaanyoleranga ensingo y’ente eyo ne bagimenya.
5 The priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and according to their word shall every controversy and every stroke be.
Kale nno batabani ba Leevi, bakabona, banaavangayo ne basembera, kubanga Mukama Katonda wo yabalonda okumuweerezanga, n’okusabiranga emikisa mu linnya lya Mukama n’okutereezanga empaka zonna n’obulumbaganyi.
6 All the elders of that city, who are nearest to the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley;
Awo abakadde abakulembeze bonna ab’omu kibuga ekinaasinganga okuliraana omulambo ogwo, banaanaabiranga engalo zaabwe ku nte eri enduusi eyamenyebbwa ensingo mu kiwonvu,
7 and they shall answer and say, "Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
ne boogera nti, “Emikono gyaffe si gye gyayiwa omusaayi guno, ne bwe gwali guyiyibwa amaaso gaffe tegaagulaba, tetwaliwo nga guyiyibwa.
8 Forgive, LORD, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and do not allow innocent blood in the midst of your people Israel." The blood shall be forgiven them.
Osonyiwe abantu bo, Isirayiri, be wanunula Ayi Mukama Katonda, oleme kuleka wakati mu bantu bo, Isirayiri, omusango ogw’okuyiwa omusaayi, gwe batazzanga.” Bwe batyo banaasonyiyibwanga omusango gw’omusaayi ogwo.
9 So you shall put away the innocent blood from the midst of you, when you shall do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD.
Bw’otyo bw’onoggyangawo omusango wakati wammwe ogw’okuyiwa omusaayi ogutaliiko nsonga, kubanga onoobanga okoze ekituufu mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda.
10 When you go forth to battle against your enemies, and the LORD your God delivers them into your hands, and you carry them away captive,
Bw’ogendanga okutabaala balabe bo, Mukama n’abagabula mu mikono gyo n’onyagayo abantu,
11 and see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you desire to take her to be your wife;
mu abo abanyagiddwa bw’onoolabangamu omukazi alabika obulungi n’omwagala, n’oyagala okumuwasa,
12 then you shall bring her home to your house; and she shall shave her head, and trim her nails;
omutwalanga mu maka go, n’omulagira okumwa omutwe gwe, n’okusalako enjala ze,
13 and she shall remove the clothing she was wearing when captured, and shall remain in your house, and mourn her father and her mother a full month. And after that you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.
n’engoye ze mwe yawambirwa azeeyambulangamu. Bw’anaamalanga mu nju yo omwezi mulamba ng’akungubagira kitaawe ne nnyina, onoogendanga gy’ali n’obeera bba, naye anaabeeranga mukazi wo.
14 It shall be, if you are not pleased with her, then you must let her go where she wants; but you may not sell her for money or treat her as a commodity, since you have had relations with her.
Kyokka bw’anaabanga takusanyusizza, omuwanga eddembe n’agenda so tomutundanga nsimbi. Tomuyisanga nga muddu, kubanga ggwe wamumalamu ekitiibwa kye.
15 If a man has two wives, the one loved, and the other unloved, and they have borne him children, both the loved and the unloved; and if the firstborn son is hers who was unloved;
Omusajja bw’anaabanga n’abakazi babiri, omu nga muganzi naye omulala nga mukyawe, bombi ne bamuzaalira abaana aboobulenzi, naye ng’omwana omubereberye ye w’omukyawe;
16 then it shall be, in the day that he causes his sons to inherit that which he has, that he may not make the son of the loved the firstborn before the son of the unloved, who is the firstborn:
bw’anaabanga agabira batabani be abo ebintu bye mu ddaame lye, takkirizibwenga kuyisa mwana wa muganzi ng’omubereberye, singa omwana w’omukyawe ye mubereberye.
17 but he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the unloved, by giving him a double portion of all that he has; for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.
Anaasaaniranga okukkiriza nti omwana w’omukyawe ye mubereberye, era anaamuwanga emiteeko ebiri egy’ebintu bye byonna by’alina, kubanga oyo ge maanyi ga kitaawe amabereberye. Ye nannyini ddembe ery’obwebange ery’omwana omubereberye.
18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and, though they chasten him, will not listen to them;
Omuntu bw’anaabanga ne mutabani we omukakanyavu omujeemu atagondera biragiro bya kitaawe wadde ebya nnyina, atabafaako bwe bamubonerezaamu olw’obutawulira,
19 then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his place;
kitaawe ne nnyina banaamukwatanga ne bamuleeta eri abakulu abakulembeze ab’omu kibuga kye waabwe nga bali wabweru w’omulyango gw’ekibuga ekyo.
20 and they shall tell the elders of his city, "This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard."
Banaategeezanga abakulu abakulembeze b’omu kibuga kye waabwe nti, “Mutabani waffe ono mukakanyavu era mujeemu. Tatuwulira. Wa mulugube nnyo era mutamiivu.”
21 All the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
Kale nno abasajja b’omu kibuga ekyo banaamukubanga amayinja ne bamutta. Bw’otyo bw’onoomalangawo ekibi wakati wo. Isirayiri yenna anaakiwuliranga, n’atya.
22 If a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and you hang him on a tree;
Omuntu bw’anaasingibwanga ogw’okufa n’attibwa, n’awanikibwa ku muti,
23 his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for everyone who hangs on a tree is cursed by God; that you do not defile your land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance.
omulambo gwe teguulekebwenga ku muti ne gusulako ekiro kyonna; onoomuziikanga ku lunaku olwo lwennyini, kubanga omuntu awanikibwa ku muti, Katonda aba amukolimidde. Togwagwawazanga nsi Mukama Katonda wo gy’akuwa okugirya okubeera obusika bwo obw’enkalakkalira.
